• Identifies periosteal stripping combined with radiation as a specific, avoidable risk factor for a difficult-to-treat complication—one distinct from the more commonly recognized risks of radiation field size or dose. • Highlights female sex and chemotherapy as compounding risk factors when periosteal excision cannot be avoided, information that can shape surveillance or counseling discussions. • Underscores that pathologic fractures in this setting are hard to manage (nonunion/delayed union in the majority of cases), reinforcing the value of prevention over treatment when tumor location allows preservation of periosteum.
